Nestled atop the highest point in the ancient port-city of
Galle, at the Lady Hill you have a bird’s eye view of
the lush green tea plantations stretching down the mountains
to meet the brilliant blue Indian Ocean. Close to some of
the best beaches in the island and to the heart of Galle city
but secluded enough to be relaxing and rejuvenating the Lady
Hill is just what the discerning tourist and business traveler
is looking for Originally built more than a hundred years
ago as a Vicarage of the Church of England this restored colonial
building still retains its old world charm. The large open
verandah, high ceiling and staircase, floor and ceiling of
teak are all part of the architectural heritage of colonial
Sri Lanka. Subtly blended with these features are all the
modern comforts which a traveler looks for giving you the
best of both worlds.
Location
115km (72 miles) and 2 ½ hours drive from Sri Lanka’s
capital city, Colombo, is Galle, the ancient port-city and
the first international trade centre for Sri Lanka. Today
this city steeped in history and culture is the provincial
capital of Southern Sri Lanka. Removed from the hustle and
bustle of a capital city and administrative centre but just
a 5 minute walk from the heart of town the Lady Hill is perfectly
situated on the highest point in Galle.
